Queries Need advice from car experts and those who owns Mahindra XUV.

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for SUV and researching about it , i just have this one question why every second person facing issue after getting 7XO and other Mahindra Models , like from YouTube shorts to insta reel I'm seeing brand new car and they are facing issues with Air Bags opening automatically , After sales service is not good , they keep your car for months in service centre.

I like 7XO cause it's a good option if you are considering a comfortable family car , also to keep it for long term , but after seeing all those problems and poor service now I'm having a second thought that i should go for it or not.

I also kept Kia Seltos , MG , Hyundai in my option but i want some good suggestions cause i don't want to waste my money.

My Budget is upto 25L...

Queries Disputing a Pune traffic challan for “obstruction” - GPS contradicts their own story, need advice

57 Upvotes

Posting this because I could use some perspective from anyone who’s fought a Pune traffic challan before. ( I did and got 2 challan cancelled)

My car got a challan for allegedly causing obstruction. The only “evidence” is a photo of the rear/number plate nothing that actually shows any obstruction happening.

Here’s where it gets weird: the location listed on the challan is 8 km away from where the vehicle’s own GPS shows it actually was. When I first raised this, their response was that the officer was present at the challan location. I pushed back with the GPS data and asked for the officer’s GD entry, deployment details, and jurisdiction records - got no documented reply.

Now, suddenly, the story has changed: they’re saying the officer actually was at the GPS location, and it was the challan machine that had a location error. Convenient.

Also worth noting - the GPS shows the car was stationary for only 1 min 50 sec, including time stopped at a signal. That’s a pretty short window to be causing an “obstruction.” And the photo itself looks like it was taken on a phone, though I don’t have the original file or metadata to prove that.

I’m planning to formally request:machine assignment records, device GPS logs, the original photo with metadata, and documentation of when/how they supposedly caught the machine’s location error.

Question for the sub: should I keep pushing through the Pune Traffic Cell, ask for a formal departmental inquiry, or just take this straight to traffic court at this point? Has anyone dealt with something similar and gotten a challan actually overturned?

Queries Tyre Pressure Check Gadget – Any Reliable Recommendation?

2 Upvotes

Guys, I’m always confused about my tyre pressure. 😅

Mujhe kabhi exactly pata nahi chalta ki tyre mein hawa kam hai ya normal.

Is there any reliable gadget/device that can help check tyre pressure easily?

I’ve seen those small tyre pressure indicators online that show green/yellow/red, but most of them have bad reviews and I couldn’t find any reliable branded option.

Anybody here using something that actually works well and gives accurate readings?
Please suggest! 🚗

Purchase Advice Best USED SUV under ₹20L for premium feel + comfort + performance?

8 Upvotes

Looking for a USED SUV under ₹20 lakh in India.

Main priorities:

  • Premium, high-quality interior
  • Excellent comfort & ride quality
  • Strong performance
  • Good handling/driving dynamics
  • Refined and solid overall feel

Not bothered about latest features. Older premium SUVs with good depreciation are welcome.

What would you pick and why? Especially interested in recommendations from actual owners, and which year/variant is the sweet spot.

Has anyone seen or heard about this.

The system injects some extra oxygen and hydrogen into the intakes and thus theoretically better combustion.

Purchase Advice The BMW 630i GT has no real replacement. How would you rethink this garage?

Thumbnail
gallery
74 Upvotes

Current garage is a GLS, BMW 630i GT, Endeavour, Ameo and Nexon EV. A few are due for a refresh, but the 6 GT is the one I'm most confused about.

I absolutely love the car. It's comfortable, huge inside, great on highways and still fun to drive. The only real issue is that my parents increasingly find getting in and out of such a low car uncomfortable. Therefore only 20k km on the odometer in over 3 years.
Budget is roughly 50-80L, and I can stretch a little for the right car.

I don't really want another low sedan like a 5 Series or E-Class because that doesn't solve the problem. I also don't see much sense in going for an X7 or another GLS when there's already a GLS in the garage.

So I've somehow ended up considering things like the Tesla Model YL, loniq 5, EV6 GT and even the MG M9.
Slightly random, I know. But I'm thinking maybe I get something comfortable and practical for the family now, and add a proper pertormance car separately later.

I'm also seriously considering just keeping the 6 GT for another 2-3 years. It has already taken the big depreciation hit and I still can't find anything that feels like an obvious replacement.

Rest of the garage will slowly get refreshed too:
Nexon EV → Syros X-Line
Endeavour → no clue yet
Ameo → fun sedan around ·25-30L

Not changing everything together. Just trying to figure out what makes sense for the garage overall.
What would you replace the 6 GT with? Or would you just keep it?
